Wittgenstein: Comparisons and Context is a collection of P. M. S. Hacker's papers on Wittgenstein and Wittgensteinian themes written over the last decade. It presents Hacker's own (Wittgensteinian) conception of philosophy, and defends it against criticisms. Subjects explored include Wittgenstein and Kant on transcendental arguments; Quine's epistemological naturalism; and Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology, anthropological and ethnological approaches, and philosophy of language. Hacker's final essay offers a synoptic view of analytic philosophy and its history, in which Wittgenstein played so notable a part.
